GENERAL RAILWAY NEWS.
Matters of Money and Management
About Various Lines

The Rate Committee of the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association held
their regular summer meeting at Asheville
yesterday.
A dispatch received last night from At
lanta announced that the railroad lines
north of that city We're open and that
trains were making schedule time.
Supt. Averill, of the South Carolina rail-
way, said to a Ne,os and Courier reporter
yesterday that about 800 feet of the trestle
on the Carolina side of the river had been
washed away by the water, but that this
was about the only damage sustained by the
company from the overflow He will com
mence repairing the trestle as soon as the
water has subsidized sufficiently for the men
to get to work. All of the regular trains
were run on schedule time Monday, but,
owing to the break in the trestle, were
obliged to enter and leave Augusta by the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta railroad.
Palatka NeWs: 1t is rumored that Mr..
George w. Bassett, who Is agent for the
Florida Southern railway in this city, will
be transferred to Gainesville, where he will
occupy the same position. That Mr.. John
Coyne the present Florida Southern agent
at Gainesville, will be made Superintendent
OF the Charlotte Harbor division of
Florida Southern railway Also, that
Mr.. Charles II. Bent will superin-
tend the st. Johns and Lake Eustis
division of the above named railway. That
Mr.. [. j. White, who went North Monday,
will arrange for the immediate construc-
ton of the railway bridge across the st.
Johns That Maj Conant, of the Florida
Southern, and friends will stop the same by
innumerable injunctions. That it is quite
probable that these injunctions will not be
granted. That if they are the bridge will
cross at Roileston. And that this will be
unsatisfactory to many Of the property
owners and business men of Palatka.
Maj. Conant, of the Florida Southern, re-
Gently delivered himself of the following in
response to the inquiries of a Gainesville,
Fla, reporter: 1.-The Florida Southern is on
a boom. OF course business is dull now; it
always is in summer, but our prospects are
most fattering. The orange crop at all of
our stations is as large or larger than it has
ever been. We expect to haul over $4,000
boxes from Micanopy this year, whereas we
only hauled 10000 last year. All other
points are in proportion to Micanopy. In
view of the very fattering prospects,
we feel justified in making some
long needed changes in our road, l
have Capt. w. P Copper, our chief
| engineer, with me, and he will look over
| the field, make preliminary surveys, and if
one thing pans out as | am promised it will !,
| the change in the roadbed will be made,
and Micanopy, town | have always liked,
viii be on our main track A delegation
| from Micanopy came to see me at Palatka,
| and told me that their town was ready,
willing and anxious to do certain things for
us in order to give themselves better rail
! road facilities; and now, if the Micanopy
| folks are as good as their word, the change
will certainly be maden

.rhe Jury Exemption Bn."

Editor Morning NetcS: | notice your re-
marks relative to the above named bill in
your issue of this date, and while admitting
that a system allowing no exemptions would
be best for the public welfare, think that
there are important reasons why law
granting a limited number of exemptions
should prevail in this State. AS you are
aware the great State of Georgia makes
no appropriations from her Treasury
for maintaining or assisting her vol
unteer military organizations, although she
expects them to respond TO any call that her
Executive may deem necessary to uphold
the law and protect the laws and property
of her citizens. The existence OF these Or
CARNATIONS has a good moral effect IN pre-
venting riots and serious disorders in times
of public excitement and the physical effect
they are calculated to produce, in case or
aggravated disorders, can hardly be estl-
mated. Is it Just, or equitable, that the
men who devote their time, or who
largely aid by their means in maintaining
these organizations should receive nothing
in return, and should also have to perform
each and every duty that their other fellow
citizens are called on to performG II the
number of exemptions be too great, why
not reduce them and at the same time in
crease the dues. | very much doubt if the
ten white companies in this city Tor COM
panies in other places which come under the
general law average twelve exemptions
each, or say 120 in Chatham county. Sup
pose the exemptions be reduced to ten per
company and the dues made not less than
$50 per annum in addition TO the regular
dues required of other members in the same
class, would not that be step III the right
direction?
The Legislature should not in justice to
the military of the State entirely repeal the
existing law, unless it is prepared to make
what is now realized by the military from
its Jury exempt" members. Personally [
favor appropriations by the State for sup
port of its military organizations, but our
legislators prefer that they should maintain
themselves by foraging on our citizens.

TO INVITE THE PRESIDENT.


A Meeting Called for That Purpose.
A special meeting of the Board of Trade
was held yesterday morning for the purpose
of taking some action in regard to inviting
his excellency the President Of the United
States and Mrs Cleveland, his estima-
October next. President T. N. Hull
requesting the calling of the meeting which
he said explained the object thereof
Several of the gentlemen present spoke on
the matter among them Capt c. s. Ellis
who suggested that a petition be drawn up
inviting his Excel1cncy here in October and
that it lie signed by the members and other
citizens and be forwarded to the President.
Capt Flannery was of the opinion that
the Mayor and Aldermen We're the proper
ones to extend such an invitation. He
called the attention Of the Board TO the
point that in taking the initiative step they
would be compelled to foot the bills and he
thought that 1t would be better idea TO
have other bodies both civil and military
interested in the matter.
Mr.C. G. Jones concurred in Capt. Elan
nery's views. The discussion was finally
ended by Mr.. Andrew Hanley, who offered
the following resolution:
Resolved That the President Of the Board of
Trade be authorized to confer with the Mayor
IN regard to issuing call for public meeting.
This was unanimously adopted. Later
in the day President Hull and Mayor Lester
had conference, which resulted in the
Mayor issuing a call for public meeting of
the citizens to be held in the long room OF
the Exchange at IL O'Clock today.

THE ALLEGED INMAN PURCHASE.
He Is Reported TO Have Secured Big
Block Of Central Stock.

A New York special to the Augusta
Chronicle says that John H. Inman has
purchased large block of Central railroad
stock-estimated 10 be between 5000 and
10000 shares-of the New York syndicate
that holds control of the Central, and that
the price paid was in the neighborhood of
$3.50 per share. II this statement proves to
be correct. it may restore harmony among
the members of the syndicate IL was
stated few days ago, however, that Mr..
Inman had been urged to enter the syndi-
cate and had declined. II he has purchased
50 large a block Of the stock it is
rather remarkable that the fact was
not generally known here yesterday
among those who manage to keep we'll
posted in the syndicate's affairs. 1t has been
stated that as much as $50 per share has
been offered for the syndicate stock, pro
vided the greater part of it could be OBJ
tanned. Assuming that this statement is
correct, the price alleged to have been paid
by Mr.. Inman is rather low There is an
impression that the greater part of the
stock in the pool cost the holders Of it about
$3.50 Still it may be true that the syndi-
cate has parted with large block of its
stock to Mr. Inman

NEW ORLEANS WINS.
It Takes Eleven Hard Fought Innings
to Decide the Game.
Umpire Hunger.

to Decide the Game.
New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 2.-It took
eleven innings to decide to-day's game, and
for the last three innings all the 800 people
were on their feet. Nashville claimed
everything, and Mannion, their umpire,
gave them nearly all they asked. His deci-
sions against New Orleans in the second in
ming were so outrageous that there was dan
ger of an outbreak. After that he confined
his work to balls and strikes. Neither Ayde-
lotte or Kelly was hit hard, seven hits off
Kelly and six actual hits off Aydelotte be
ing made. When Nashville came to the
bat in the ninth the score was tied. Fuller's
mutf, Hogan's single and base on balls filed
the bases, with one out. Masran hit to
third and Kelly was retired at the plate,
and Fuller threw Burks ont at first, leaving
the bases full. New Orleans won the game
in the eleventh inning. Cartwright hit so
hot that Bradley fumhled. Cess hit to
Hogan, and Burks dropped the ball at
second, and Kelly foolishly threw to third
on Pujols hit, filling the bases McVey's
single brought two men in, and Fuller's
single brought in two more.
In Nashville's eleventh Kelly hit safe and
Clinton got bis base on balls, but Campau
made two nice catches, although he was SO
lame that he could hardly walk and Fuller
assisted runner out at first. Hayes hurt
his hand and Hogan played second and
Masran right.
The score by innings was as follows:
New Orleans o 0 0 0 0 0 0 as
Nashville % 0 0 0 / o 0 o.

The Improvement the Convicts are
Making in the County.
The convict force which has been engaged
for several weeks in cleaning out Hayner's
creek down to the Montgomery crossroad,
so as to give better outlet to the water
from the Casey canal, has about completed
that work, and the remainder of the gang
is engaged on the Harmon swamp canal,
which is completed to within one
hundred yards of the White Bluff
road East of Hayner's bridge
on the Montgomery crossroad the water in
the swamps Is "backed up for planting
purposes, and it is very apparent that some
thing will have to be done TO get rid of it
before that part of the county can be prop
erly drained
Nothing has yet been done toward drain
ing the lands west of the Ogeechee canal.
1t has been suggested that camp should be
established in that vicinity and part of
the convict force put TO work. There is
general complaint TINT that section of the
county has not received the attention which

CHARLESTON, Aug 2.-Charieston put up
Smith and Childs to-day and won the game
easily, the McKeogh brothers holding the
points for the visitors. In the third inning,
however, Catcher McKeogh was disabled
and Crotty was substituted for him. Hun
gler of Charleston, umpired, there being no
league umpire here. Both pitchers were
freely hit, but the splendid
field work of Charleston won
the victory. In the seventh inning Mem

out, and were hitting Smith right and left.
Carlin, in centre field, however, piczed two
flies off the fence, and Childs caught a foul
tip, which put the side out with the bases

HIS NAME WAS DENNIS,
and He VIII Explain to the Mayor
Where He Got It.

Shortly after 70 O'Clock last night pedes-
TRANS and the residents il The neighborhood
OF Congress street lane, between Barnard
and jefferson streets, were startled by the
sharp report of a pistol, which seemed TO
come from a room on the lane, upstairs
in the rear of Hermes Il Robinsons
photograph gallery. 1t attracted quite a
crowd TO the lane, among them officer l. u:
Durham. who inquired of an individual
nanel John w. Hall VINO fired the shot.
Hall denied that the shot had been fired
there and went on 10 guy the ofiicerIn great
shape, greatly to the amusement of the
crowd Among other things, in reply 70
the policeman's query as to his name, he said
il was Dennis. . The policeman retired amid
the laughter of the crowd, but it appears
did not give up the scent. he went down
tinto the Market basement and awaited
patiently for the two worthless to come
down ont of tho gallery which they did
shortly afterward, when the officer slipped
up to them and informed them that they
were under arrest
They proceeded quietly enough till they
reached York street. AT the corner Hall
turned 10 the officer and remarked: Il
made a - fool of myself, and now I'll
have TO pay for it, suppose A few mo-
ments later he suddenly twisted himself
loose from the officers grasp and with pro-
fame farewell sped up the street. But
Officer Durham is a Splinter, and he soon
overhauled the fleeing young man.
Hall stumbled as the officer reached
for him and they both fell, Durham on
top and in command. A Mr.. Mitchell was
with the trio when Hall broke for freedom
and he brought Robinson into the barracks
about the same time that Durham arrived
with Hall.
They both were arraigned for disorderly
conduct. On searching them revolver
was found hidden on Halls person, one
barrel of which showed signs of having been
recently discharged. A charge Of carrying
concealed weapons was added to his name
on the police blotter and both were locked
up. Very probably they both realize very
fully this morning that officer Durham has
big streak of humor in him and that he
knows Joke as soon as any one
